Dow Corning

How about getting the Dow Corning article a higher resolution version of the logo. See Exxon Mobil or Apple, Inc. where we have an svg file that has unlimited resolution. Svg files store the image as vectors that can be scaled to any size while retaining resolution.

That's a great tip, thank you!

Sanjeev

Things worked better when Sanjeev asked you to be an intermediary between him and Wikipedia.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm flattered you think so, but in my experience a COI editor's input on long-term content conflict is rarely welcome. I do what I can to educate current, past, and prospective clients off-Wiki about Wikipedia policy and how to engage in useful, helpful ways. If you think there's a different role I should be playing on-Wiki, I'm all ears; I try to be a good Wiki-citizen but it's not always clear how.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Fractyl Health (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WeirdNAnnoyed was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Article is promotional, and sourced almost entirely to announcements about its products, rather than about the company itself. Ref. 2 is probably fine, but the others are routine announcements and/or not about the company. Please tone down promotional content and emphasize secondary coverage of Fractyl (not its products) in reliable sources, ideally for a general audience (trade publications are fine but shouldn't form the backbone of the article).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Fractyl Health and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, MaryGaulke! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:09, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
